Biography
Mohammed A. Salameh was born on 1 September 1967 in Palestine, and in 1988 he entered the United States on a six-month tourist visa; he overstayed his visa after failing to obtain amnesty for a fictitious past as an agricultural worker. He ferried the nitric acid and urea to the World Trade Center in February 1993 in preparation for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, but on 4 March 1993 he was arrested by an undercover FBI agent posing as a loss prevention analyst when Salameh reported the loss of his van, the same one used in the bombing. Salameh was sentenced to 240 years in prison due to his role in the bombing.
